We are nowadays on a verge to start earning online as it is the most trending topic among the youth. Many followers and friends asked me how to get Google Adsense approved after reading this article on how to earn from home that I posted last year? Google Adsense is a program initiated by Google to help advertisers gain profit by displaying advertisements banners, links and various forms of ad-placements on publisher’s websites and blogs.

Google has a very strict policy over its Adsense program which needs to be followed very carefully by the publishers to get it approved and start monetizing their websites/blogs. There is plenty information provided by Google in their blog post prior to applying for an Adsense account and also many tips and information are covered by various bloggers but most of them forget to cover the sensitive parts which we are going to cover in this article.

When I started Glowpedia, I never thought of monetizing it instantly but later on, I realized that placing ads on your blog is not always about earning money but also it helps the visitors of your blog to see any helpful information or product related to my post as many things are not covered in a single article. In this article, we will cover both the things to do and not to do for applying Google Adsense and we hope that the chances of getting the approval are high as these standards if followed thoroughly won’t lead to a rejection of your application.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Google Adsense?

How will it help me monetize my blog or website?

How to apply for Google Adsense?

What are the requirements for Google Adsense?

Am I eligible for the Adsense program?

Do I have to fill a form on Google Adsense?

Do I have to visit the Google Office?

What if my application is not accepted?

And the main question is “does my blog qualify to serve Google Ads?”

To all these questions above we have detailed answers which will give you ample amount of knowledge and information about how Google Adsense works and how to apply for it without getting rejected on the first chance.

Things To Do And Not To Do

The things which we are going to mention are already covered on the internet and are the basic instructions provided by Google on their blog post to follow before applying for Adsense program. Perhaps, we have mentioned few bullet points that many bloggers have not covered in their articles and will help you get your Google Adsense approved.

Theme/Template

This is the most common practice to do and is quite popular on the internet mentioning to have an easy user interface of your blog/website. If your navigation is glitchy then no one tends to stay on your website for long. It is better to use a simple theme or a template that lets the user navigate easily to the social networks links, widgets, contact page, privacy policy page, about, disclaimer etc.

If you are on WordPress or Blogger then opt for a free theme/template. Do not ever use a nulled one, because it contains backdoors and malicious codes implemented that would lead to rejection of your application at one go.

Website users should have a neat design and not too complicated for the user to navigate

Content

Everyone knows content is the key to every successful blogger, if your content is copied or not informative then there is no use of working online. Google always focuses on content and content is everything for them because a user searches a particular keyword then he wants to find something informative. If your article title is “how to make money online” and your content is about spending money online is totally different and doesn’t make any sense. So make sure that the content that you write should be unique and easy to be understood.

Write a minimum of at least 500 words article

Have 10-15 articles already posted before applying for Adsense

Interlink the articles (link to your different articles that you have posted already)

Always have quality content and not like “how to”, “tips and tricks”, bla bla bla

Pages

It is important for a user to navigate through the pages that are informative and helps them get more information out of your blog/website. This is a very must standard rule to follow before you apply for Google Adsense. You must have these 4 pages and should be easily viewable in the header or the footer or on the side widget.

ABOUT page should be there which tells more about your blog niche or the purpose of the blog.

CONTACT page is must for any kind of website/blog which lets a visitor contact you through this page for any kind of general query or complaint.

PRIVACY POLICY page should be created that discloses any kind of information that you gather from the user when they visit and how you tend to use that information. You can create a privacy policy page from here

DISCLAIMER page helps you save from any kind of loss that a user may face while going through your article. You must always mention the disclaimer information that it is the user’s responsibility.

Social Media

Set up social media accounts on Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, make a board on Pinterest. Getting traffic from these social giant sites helps you in getting a backlink although they are no-follow but helps in boosting your blog rank in many ways.

Use Quora and Reddit to answer questions and link back to your relevant article

Make a YouTube channel and start posting videos

Domain Whois Details Must Be Same

I remember a few years back when I applied for Google Adsense, I got an email from them mentioning about the Whois information of the domain is different from the one which I have applied for. I never thought of this and it was also not mentioned elsewhere that we need to have the same contact name for both the domain and the name on the application. It is better to hide your domain whois details or keep the personal information and Domain whois same.

Keep the email of the domain whois to that of the Gmail id from which you are applying

No Pop-ups Or Other Ads

This is very important before applying for Adsense. No one likes those annoying pop-ups and disturbing ad banners have adult contents. Google has a strict policy with adult/violent/drug contents. Remove all the ad codes of different ad-programs completely and any pop-up script if you have placed anywhere on your blog.

Broken Links

A broken link is a very bad example of maintaining and updating your blog. It gives a bad impression to the visitors that the webmaster doesn’t maintain the blog properly. It is better to check for broken links placed anywhere on your blog.

Check the social media links

Check the menu links if they are properly directing to the categories or pages

Google Adsense Approved

The moment you receive the email from Google that your Adsense account has been accepted and you can place your ads, follow these things carefully because you are not yet done. Google Adsense team will review your blog and see if it is going to help the advertisers gain by placing the ads your blog.

Keep updating your blog by posting articles

Keep a follow up on all the things that we have mentioned above

Do not place more than 3-5 ads on a single article (the best practice to follow at the beginning is by placing a banner ad in the header, a responsive banner at the starting of your article, a banner ad in between your article and a link ad at the end of the article)

Get some traffic running through social media and search engines

Google Adsense Rejected

Do not lose hope is the moral of the story, there is always a second chance to follow. Although, we hope that after following the standards provided by Google and by other bloggers it won’t happen. If by any chance your application is rejected then you can follow these.

Re-apply for Adsense account after a few days by updating your articles and getting more traffic and engagement

You can apply for other ad-networks like Infolinks, Chitika, Bitvertisers, Media.net etc

Change your niche and go for internet marketing i.e: E-commerce affiliates like Amazon, Flipkart etc (they pay a good amount if you get their products sold, even if you do not sell them your affiliate link gets you earned for other products as well)

Recently I was planning to purchase few expired domains on black Friday sale, I was searching for tools to check the blacklist status of such domains on Google. All I had in mind was how to check the expired domain penalized by Google or not.

So after a lot of research, I found a very easy and quick way to find if an expired domain is banned by Google and then to my surprise, I found that Google is the only solution for this. Everyone knows about Google Link Shortner? This is the key to our lock which will help us investigate if the domain that we are going to purchase is blacklisted by Google.

Many times it happens that we tend to purchase a new domain and we don’t know if it was already in use, even if we look at its whois details or check it through internet archive then also we do not get the answer to our main question if the domain is penalized. Once a domain is expired and is not renewed for a long time then all the pages that were indexed by search engines are removed. This way we cannot decide if the domain is whitelisted and hence we have a major doubt on our decision to buy that domain.

We are writing a detailed guide below on how to check the expired domain penalized by Google and also a video in case you find this guide difficult.

Check Expired Domain Penalized By Google Before Purchasing

Paste and search the short URL on your browser and check the following

If you get the following message, then the domain is blacklisted by Google and I would advise you not to purchase this expired domain as it might not serve Google Adsense ads as well.

When you get “This site can’t be reached” message then this means that the domain is fresh and it was not purchased earlier, it is also not banned by Google.

You can even use Google URL shortener without login in with your Gmail account, you can directly use this free tool provided by Google. I hope this article is going to help you in future to take the right decisions on purchasing expired domains or new domains.

The first thought that comes to our mind while general surfing or using Facebook and going through our newsfeed, we start feeling that how much these page owners must be earning and how much a blogger is earning from his blog. These things lead us to a very common question “How to earn from home without any investment”? To this question we have

Being a blogger and having multiple blogs I get to hear many questions from my friends and relatives that how to earn from home like you? Also, they have this very common question which everyone asks me that if they have to make an initial investment at the beginning. Well to this question I have mentioned the points below which will let you know if you will have to invest or not.

So first let us make sure and get a brief introduction on how to earn from home and what all resources do we require? So to this basic answer is – you need a laptop or a computer, a good internet connection with an unlimited plan as you will have to surf a lot and upload things (we will discuss this later), you also need the most precious thing and that is time.

Earn From Home Without Spending Anything

Now that we have these three basic things with us then we can proceed further and choose what we can do better and most importantly in what things we are better at.

1. Blogging

Blogging is an art and it is the easiest way to reach your audience through the form of writing articles which I am doing in this article. In blogging what we do is write articles that are unique and helps our users read them, it could be based on sharing general tricks, information or maybe something that a user tends to know which is not available in detail anywhere.

So the question over here arises that how do I earn from blogging and how much do I have to invest on it?

You can do blogging on a free platform named Blogger which is hosted by Google itself and gives much exposure and relevancy if you have the unique type of content posted for the public. You can check this article on how to host a blog on Blogger for free. The limitation of hosting a blog on Blogger is that you will be getting a subdomain name followed by Blogspot. If you tend to spend few penny then you can host your very own personal domain such as www.yourdomainname.com on Blogger for free as well but you will have to pay for the domain name which will cost you no more than 10$ for a .com TLD.

After this, you will have to apply for Adsense account which then will help you place ads on your blog and help you earn when users visit your blog or click on the advertisement banners. Also, you can use affiliate services such as reviewing products from Amazon and putting the links for those products with your affiliate code.

2. Freelancing

This has been discussed a lot of times and we know what freelancing is? If you don’t know then let me tell you that freelancing is getting jobs on a short-term basis which gets completed quickly and you must have technical skills on computers such as creating logos, installing scripts on a server, writing articles for others, etc.You can make a good amount of money from freelancing and if you are a student then it won’t hamper with your studies, because the nature of freelancing is short-term and quick you complete the task quickly and get paid instantly from sites such as Freelancer, Envato Studio (currently not available for registration), Fiverr.

3. Writing Articles

If you are good at writing articles or tutorials on anything then this is how to earn from home without any investment. I do not have to mention the particular websites that hire content writers and pay them, you can google it according to your geolocation. You can even contact bloggers from your city or country and ask them if they pay to content writers, they generally do and this can make you earn quick money at the end of the day after delivering your content to them.

4. Youtube

Youtube is not just meant for watching videos but also getting paid for uploading your videos. Yes, you have heard it right that Youtube pays to your content that gets a good amount of views, the more the views the more you earn. So how does this work? You might have seen an increase in Technology bloggers that reviews electronic gadgets if you are good at it and have the resources like a good camera and a mic then you can start reviewing products that you use. Women who are housewives can make videos on cooking, cosmetics products reviews and much more. You will have to create a Gmail account and then you can go to Youtube and apply for Adsense account over here.

5. Teach & Earn

So there is a website named Skillshare which is a very big platform for teachers to teach and earn from home. There are more than 2 million students and over 5 million teachers registered on this website and it is quite easy to enroll yourself as a teacher over here. All you have to do is create your first class and build a channel to engage with students. Skillshare assures that teachers on an average earn $3000$ per year and top teachers make up to $40,000 a year.

These were the five ways through which you can earn from home without any investment if you have anything else to share then please leave a comment down below and if you have any query regarding the above-mentioned ways then feel free to ask us.

We have been always on a verge of increasing our Instagram followers, be it for business purpose or for general fame and likes have a big question on how to increase Instagram followers genuinely. Well, there are many free tools to do so but they are not for real and slowly they start unfollowing you. In this article, we are going to tell you some very easy tricks that need a little hard work but the results are genuine and you can increase your Instagram followers in a legit way.

To gain more followers on your Instagram account you will have to use some rich hashtags that are widely searched throughout the world which we will tell you later but, if you want to target a general product then you can use that particular product hashtag with few more hashtags relevant to your product and audience.

The fastest mode of getting more followers without much work is by using few free tools like 4gram, ighoot, hublagram, etc but they do not send real followers, here what we mean by real followers are not bots but people who start following your account to get some points and in return they get followers as well, the general tendency of people I have seen is unfollowing once they get the followers for the points spent. The natural way for getting followers are by using hashtags or following people on the Instagram account and by leaving a comment that would let the other user know that you are interested in their profile and would be following forever.

How To Increase Instagram Followers Genuinely

Now coming to the part where we have mentioned in our title how to increase Instagram followers genuinely is a trick that we follow on our accounts and we get genuine followers for sure.

Find the famous people who have more than 100k followers on their account. Make a list of up to 5-10 people related to your niche such as if you are a technology blogger then start following TechCrunch,AppleFresh,MKBHD, PcGaming

Now keep an eye on them, wait and see when they upload a new post on their account, we suggest you turn on the notification on your Instagram application so that you don’t miss this opportunity which we will tell you in the next step

Once you get the notification that one of the people has posted something new on their account then open it and quickly start following the last 50-100 likes on that post. Make sure you do this within 5-10 minutes as this is the time the followers will generally be active.

Now wait for some time and see that the people you have followed have followed you back as well. Even if you see there are fewer followers then do not lose hope and wait for few more hours, maybe you can wait for a day.

Once you have noticed that the people whom you have followed have followed you back then you can keep them and start unfollowing the others who have not followed you back.

This practice is on an experimental basis but it has worked for us but it doesn’t work most of the time as well. So have patience and keep following and start interacting with the followers as well, win their trust and you will be on a safer side.

Instagram Tool

You can use this wonderful tool named Crowdfire to keep a track of your followers, like who has followed you or unfollowed you. It has helped me grow lots of followers but sadly my Instagram account was banned due to over usage, so make sure you use your Instagram wisely. This tool helps you pick rich hashtags that bring you more followers and likes on your posts. It has also got an automated option to post your articles when you want to schedule it.

Top Instagram Hashtags

Here are the top hashtags that are searched widely and using it appropriately will get you more likes and followers on your Instagram posts:

You might have heard about Google’s Panda, Penguin, Fred updates that either boosts the traffic of a website or badly affects it. You might be a victim in the past for sure that is why you are visiting this article or if you want to stay safe from the next Google’s major update then you must follow the following tips. In this article, we will help you how to regain traffic after Google update.

Many times it happens that we think that posting new content on regular basis helps us in retaining the rank of the site but we are wrong, there are several factors that help us retain the blogs rank and traffic. You must not always rely on the above technique, you should even create backlinks which are related to your niche which means that if you own a technology blog on Android related things then you must try to get backlinks from the same platform of other blogs.

Coming back to how to regain the traffic to your blog after a major Google update like Fred then you should keep in mind that your blog should look professional and the articles must not look spammy or copied at all. Also, maintain the sites SEO and update the old articles, do not forget about the old articles, this is a very bad practice that most bloggers like us do. I recovered from Google’s Fred update after I updated my articles and deleted few old articles that had a lot of competition and I was too lazy to build backlinks for them.

I believe you have already got few tips above but wait there are many other things to be followed to recover from Google’s major updates that drop the traffic on your blog.

Follow these parameters that would help you from not getting penalized from Google updates (Fred):

Check Sitewide Links: You must remove sitewide links that are usually placed in the footer or in the header such as “this theme is presented by” or “powered by this site”. These links do affect your site’s SEO. So you must check them if they are present on your site, also check if they are present in the widgets as well.

Mobile Friendly: One of the most used platform to browse a website are portable devices such as smartphones, tablets, etc. Make sure that your site is “mobile friendly”, no one visits a blog that takes a lot of time to completely load, I myself get frustrated when I need to search something and the website tends to load slowly. This is a major breakdown in traffic and Google doesn’t support such websites that don’t load quickly. For this, you can use AMP plugins if you are hosted on WordPress or optimize your theme to make it load faster on mobile devices. After you have optimized your theme, you can check the page speed on PageSpeed Insights by Google.

Disavow Spammy Links: It happens that we start building backlinks but later those links turn into bad/spammy links which give a negative value to your blog on Google. You can check the spammy links on SEO tools like Moz, Ahrefs or Semrush.

Webmaster Tools Errors: Go to Google Webmaster Tools and check if you have any errors on your submitted URLs. If you see them then fix them quickly, leaving these errors means that the search engine spiders are not able to crawl your URLs and that means you are losing organic traffic from search engines.

Affiliate Links: We are mostly into affiliate marketing these days as the commission payout is much more than compared to having a blog that has Google Adsense as the primary revenue earner. If you have sitewide affiliate links then make them “no follow”. Make sure they open in a new tab as well.

Remove Unwanted Scripts/Plugins: You need to make your blog load faster and if you have scripts that tend to make your blog load very slow then you know what we have mentioned earlier. Go to your dashboard and check which plugins you do not require. Remember the less the plugins the faster your blog will load.

Delete Old Posts: As I mentioned earlier that I I deleted some old articles from my blog as I saw there were too many competitors of the same content and I was too lazy to build backlinks and rank on top of them. You can delete old posts that have no traffic at all.

Deindex Duplicate Pages: Check for duplicate or similar types of articles on your blog that has been indexed on Google. You can use Yoast SEO and deindex those pages which you think are duplicate.

Check Your Outbound Links: It is very important to check which domains are getting juice from your blog. If they have scored well over the months or have lost their ranking and became spammy. You must check your outbound links often to retain your blog’s ranking or else it will affect your blogs score as well. You can “no follow” them or remove the links permanently.

Avoid Keyword Stuffing: We all know Google loves keywords and the searches are focused based on them, but it is a bad practice by bloggers that leads to banning from Google. We must stop stuffing keywords in an article and make it look natural. If you have ever stuffed keywords in any article then search them and try to reduce them.

Avoid Popup Ads: Popup ads are very dangerous, I have used it once to get more sales from Flipkart but it leads to heavy loss to me. Avoid any types of Popup ad networks and scripts.

Natural Anchor Texts: Try to focus on your site name/naked URL based links and maintain a natural anchor text of your backlinks.

Google Analytics Study: Always study the bounce rate, the session time and other analytics of your blog and try to improve them over time. The less the bounce rate then it is better to rank on Google.

Change Theme: If you have a heavy theme or a pirated one then this might have given a negative score. I used to use a heavy theme which I later got to know from friends and users that it was very slow and that contents used to load very slowly and they left the site due to this. Make sure you do not use a pirated theme ever, try to purchase it or you may even choose one from the free ones from WordPress itself.

Backlinks: One of the major factors was this, I was having very fewer backlinks compared to my new competitors, I started building more do-follow backlinks from high DA/PA sites.

These are the methods and techniques which I followed and implemented, things we little hard and time-consuming but if we had followed and maintained them from the beginning then we would have focused on more things like writing more articles and researching other web contents.

Please have patience and wait for some weeks to regain traffic after Google update. Here is another tip for you, you can use Ahrefs and see your competitor using the backlinks, try to get them on your articles as well and in this way you will out-rank them easily.
